David Heldebrant was selected for the 2025 Distinguished Service Award from the American Chemical Society Division of Energy & Fuels, recognizing his impact to energy and fuels chemistry.

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

CO2 separation is key for natural gas purification, but conventional techniques are high-emission processes. New research reveals a novel, doubly segmented, CO2-selective membrane that increases CO2 permeability and reduces emissions.

In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.

Chemical engineer Yuan Jiang is now an executive editor at Gas Science and Engineering, a cross-disciplinary journal centered on natural gases.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

Erik Lentz and Christian Boutan will research quantum information science-enabled discoveries in high energy physics with these awards.

Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

A multi-institutional team of researchers systematically compared extraction techniques for characterizing plant litter composition that relies on organic matter extraction.

Knowing future snow levels is key for managing the recovery of endangered bighorn sheep. PNNL scientists help to forecast how the sheep could fare.

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

New methodology can evaluate the potential for carbon storage and critical mineral recovery in undercharacterized geological settings.

A new database allows researchers to connect lattice parameters and composition in olivine.

The search for dark matter includes expertise in radio frequency signal detection, quantum sensing, and high-energy physics at PNNL.

Research identifies the mechanisms through which peptoids affect ions in solution and a mineral surface, increasing the rate of carbonate crystal growth.

Mengqi Zhao and Chris Vernon were selected to serve in editorial roles at JOSS for Earth science and data science, respectively.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.
